Costly fashion and college history in one page
A feature of the Fox film Leave It to Me at the Picture Garden highlights Miss Eileen Percy and Miss Lucille Cavanaugh in elaborate costumes from blue taffeta bathing suits to Parisian outfits. The article then shifts to Colby College’s long chartered history from 1813, its name changes, early tuition and meals, Civil War impacts, and postwar growth with endowment milestones and memorials.
